Biblioteca dei Ragazzi

The “Biblioteca dei Ragazzi” (Children's Library), in the middle of the park of Villa Fabbricotti, is a place I enjoyed when I was very young and had not yet gained access to real libraries. Sadly, like so many places in this town, it had been closed for a while for repairs that never seemed to happen. It has reopened only last summer after some extraordinary maintenance work carried on thanks to the donation of a private citizen, Professor Marco Di Giovanni of the Department of Historical Studies of the University of Turin.
